KTLT
KTLT (98.1 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Anson, Texas, United States, broadcasting to the Abilene, Texas, area. Owned by Cumulus Media, KTLT airs an adult contemporary format. Studios are located along U.S. Highway 84 in southwest Abilene, and the transmitter site is in between Anson and Hawley, Texas, along U.S. Highway 277 in Jones County. The 98.1 facility at Anson has been on the air since May 5, 1988, and has rotated formats regularly throughout its history. Built by George Chambers as an oldies station known as KTCE and soon after KKHR, it spent most of its early years on air as either an oldies or adult contemporary outlet, except for airing Tejano music at the start and end of the 1990s. In 1999, Powell Meredith Communications Company swapped the facility to Cumulus Media for the 106.3 facility, moving the adult contemporary–formatted KFQX-FM to 98.1. Aside from a brief spike, ratings were low, and the station flipped to contemporary Christian in 2004 and then to alternative. From 2011 to 2020, it was the Abilene market's first FM sports talk outlet. It became a music station again in 2020 when it flipped to active rock. The discontinuation of the syndicated rock format led to a flip to adult contemporary in 2025.
